So who wanted a PIF file anyway! <g> Thanks, Larry, for posting this solution - it has gone into immediate use for those couple of things where I still need to use DOS.

I adapted the solution found here: http://www.computing.net/answers/dos/run-batch-file-invisiblestealth/14270.html to produce a completely silent batch file runner. The solution is to create a single line VBS program like this: CreateObject("Wscript.Shell").Run """" & WScript.Arguments(0) & """", 0, False and then LAUNCH that VBS program from R:Base, passing the name of the batch file (or other command line) as the argument. I called my VBS script "launcher.vbs". So in my program I replaced: LAUNCH SendFax.BAT with LAUNCH launcher.vbs|SendFax.BAT The VBS doesn't create a DOS console, and the Shell command inside the VBS doesn't either. -- Larry No virus found in this incoming message.
